How to make hickory smoked pork ribs

Lay out your pork ribs and the spices for your rub.

Mix all your spices together and rub on both sides of your ribs.

I like to wrap the ribs in Saran wrap. I prefer to place them back in the fridge and let them sit for another day or two to let the meat soak up the seasonings.

Once they have sat for a day or two, get ready to put them in your smoker.

I use an electric smoker and wrap my pieces of hickory in foil to create a better smoke. Make small holes in your foil to release the smoke.

Add water to your smoker. I check my water after 2 hours. Do not check too often!

Add your ribs and patiently wait. These two racks will take about 4 hours.

Checking water at 2 hours. Do it quickly!

Ribs are done when your temperature is 170 degrees. Plan on about 45 minutes per pound. Enjoy!
